I sat with my back against the comfiest leather seat I've ever sat against but that's not what was on my mind, I have and always have had terrible travel sickness and was really feeling it right now. I had played it off for the past half hour that I was fine but if I didn't get into the front seat soon I was going to vomit everywhere.

I put my hand on Drew's shoulder and he looked back at me smiling until he noticed my discomfort. "You ok baby cakes" he asked. I could see scar glance back at me in the mirror but I didn't care all I needed was to try get rid of the nausea.

"Any chance I could swap seats with you not feeling great" I tried smile but it turned to a pained scowl. "Of course why didn't you tell me sooner"

"Scar pull over" Drew spoke with confidence Scar didn't say anything but complied. The black SUV pulled over and I got out on shakey legs. "Hey you sure your going to be ok" Drew whispered in my ear. I smiled up and him and nodded.

I climbed into the passenger side and scooted as close to the door as I could. I took deep breaths trying to calm the volcano in my stomach. I just stared out hoping we'd get there soon.

I heard slight snoring behind me and looked back and smiled Drew was passed out drooling on Scar leather seats. Oh boy your looking for a death wish from the man himself. My stomach had calmed down but not as much as I'd hoped.

"There's panadol in the cabinet in front of you get it out" Scar said with no emotion evident in his voice. I jumped not expecting him to even speak to me. "Ok" I mumbled pathetically. I contemplated starting a conversation with him but decided against it just incase he decided to throw me out on the side of the highway.

I reached forward and opened the cabinet, I started to rummage through the eye contact packets and papers until I seen the panadol. I took them out and handed them to him. He didn't even look at me when he said "there for you I don't need you getting sick in my car". And for a split second I thought he could actually care.

I swallowed the two tablets without water and continued to look out the window. I could hear Drew start to move around a lot I looked back again and seen a very tired but goofy Drew smiley back at me. "Hey baby cakes how you feeling now"

"Good how was your nap" I said back while blushing profusely at his nickname for me. The car abruptly stopped but instead of flying back towards the cabinet my body hit an arm. I looked down and Scars arm was like a barrier to stop me.

He looked back at Drew and said something but the ending made shivers run down my back " meet me in the dressing room in five, someone owns me something and I've to sort it"

Scar left with his bag slung over his shoulder. Drew came around and helped me out of the car. As we walked I noticed this fight was a lot more professional but what I noticed more was Drew's arm over my shoulder. Don't get me wrong I felt protected but not how I felt the first night I met Scar.

"Don't look anyone here in the eye or give them a flirty impression I'd rather not have to fight anyone tonight" he chuckled beside me. 

We walked through crowds with Drew's large body pushing people out of the way and my short ass trailing behind. I seen a bald scary guy up ahead but once he seen Drew a smile broke out on his face. "Drew bud I was wondering when I'd see you here again" his deep voice said. "Only here on protection duty tonight" and pointed back to me. I waved and moved slightly behind Drew like a child with their mother. He looked me up and down and something in his eyes changed that made me uncomfortable.

Drew must of noticed because he coughed and indicated that he wanted to go threw the door. The man opened it and Drew let me walk in first. It brought us to a long corridor with black doors lining it. "Ah ha there it is the second door on the left go on in, I'm just going to have a smoke I'll be in in a sec" Drew said and nudged me in the direction.

I walked over to the door and knocked slightly on it "come in" shouted a female voice. I walked in and the butterflies nearly broke out of my stomach. There was Scar skipping incredibly fast in a tight tank top and shorts with a skipping rope and I just stood there with my mouth open like a fool until someone clicked their fingers in my face.

A girl around nineteen stood in front of me looking me up and down and it wasn't until now that I realized I had a really short skirt on and my boobs were spilling out of the top. "We didn't ask for a whore" she spoke my disgust staining her words. My eyes nearly fell out of my head "excuse me". "You heard m.." she was cut off by the voice my legs always went weak at. "Let her in Asp she works for me". "Seriously Den" she raised an eyebrow at him and moved aside.

I walked in and sat at a bench in the corner of the room. "Where's Drew" that's all he said but was enough to make my butterflies explode. "Went for a smoke" I said quietly. He just hummed in response.

"Aspen show Zara how to wrap my hands" he spoke but those words made me feel really nervous that meant I had to be up close to him.

I slowly made my way over to where she was standing, I tried to get my hands to stop shaking but they didn't. I looked up and he was just staring at my shaking hands.

"Right put your thumbs in" she said to him. The wraps were a pale white colour. "Make sure when your wrapping his hands watch what I'm doing and don't let the wraps crinkle got it" she said rather gruffly. "Yup" was all I said before she started.

After about five minutes I had it and smiled at his hands on accomplishment. Scar took him hand from mine and started to walk towards his bag. I looked at Aspen only to realise that she was looking at me. "That's a nasty black eye you should really learn self defense for the bar" shit has my make up come off was it that visible.

"What black eye" him voice rose slightly. Oh shit oh shit. I turned to walk away but he had already caught my arm. Like how did you do that last time I checked you were the other side of the room. Where was Drew how long does it take to have a smoke.

"Aspen leave" he spoke icily. "Wait hold on did I say something wrong" she asked confused. It's ok aspen I feel the same way right now. I didn't hear anything only the door open and close.

"Turn around Zara" the way he said my name oh my. Zara cop on think straight woman. I turned to face him not meeting his eye. "Who did this" his voice man his voice was like he was possessed. Which was kinda hot but not the time once again.

"I fell that's all Scar" him grip tightened when I said his name. "Don't lie to me you didn't have this leaving the bar and you went with...." oh no he was putting two and two together and ending up with five.

"Scar the fights starting" the same bald guy from earlier came in and said.

"Scar it's not what your thinking you've got it all wrong" I tried to plead with him as he took off his top. He walked to the door with a look in his eye that only the devil himself could conjure. Before he walked out the door he threw me his hoodie "put it on" was all he said.

Drew came walking back and Scar bumped shoulders with him nearly knocking him off his feet. "Someone's gonna die by that look on his face" was all Drew had to mutter for my whole body to start to shake.
